Tiger Cubs Steamrolled

West Vigo Squad. 114-81

McCracken’s ball hawks broke the curse Saturday night and won their victory tfrith the greatest margin yet this year. The “Terre Haute Curse’’ which always seems to hang around when a Terre Haute team plays the Cubs, never reared its ugly head as the Cubs handed West Vigo a smashing 114-81 defeat Saturday night. The Cubs used their threeman press early in the tilt and jumped to a 10-2 lead at the 6:13 mark of the first quarter. The combined scoring of Ron Blotch, Jim Chadd and Mike Troyer surpassed the best the Vigo County team could muster and the Cubs doubled the lead 31-15 into the second stanza. It was smooth sailing throughout the remaining 24 minutes. The Cubs rolled to a thirty point lead and increased it to forty points at one segment of the game. Ron Blotch and Bill Nanovsky controlled the rebounds and there was no apparent threat to their domain. The Cubs entered the half leading 61-35 and went into the third quarter, 93-55. High point man for the Cubs was Mike Troyer with 29, Ron

Blotch Jim Chadd and Stan Hurst followed with 22, 21 and 12 respectively. West Vigo had four men in double figures as Joe Stark collected 39 with R. Waug, Mike Monts and Chuck Cardinal tallying 12, 12 and 11. In the preliminary game the B-team duplicated the varsity action defeating the Vigo squad 69-43. The red-hot team coached by Hal Sampson limited the Vikings to seven field goals and 29 free throws. Harmless and Churchill led the Cub scoring with 17 and 16 respectively. The next scheduled Tiger Cub game is February 12th at Terre Haute Gerstmeyer. Summaries:

Indianapolis AX After 5 p.m. Terre Haute 5 o395

St. Joseph’s up and down Pumas were definitely up for DePauw Saturday night i n Rensselaer and whacked the Tigers, 93-72, after holding a 16-point halftime gap. It was another cold night from the field that cost DePauw its third ICC loss in six games, yet kept it precariously in second place (3-3, in the catch-the-Aces-if-you-can loop. Coach Elmer McCall said his squad turned in its poorest performance of the season in both shooting and rebounding, but he said he didn’t want to distract from St. Joe’s 11-6 ball club. “They've got real class and polish,” McCall pointed out yesterday. “They wouldn’t have beaten Cincinnati, 61-59, in Cincinnati if they didn't have a lot of poise and ability. Oddly, the Pumas’ win over Cincy was their only one in their last four pre-DePauw battles. They were dropped at home by Butler, 99-84, lost at Indiana State, 81-74, beat Cincinnati, and were decked at Ball State, 90-76. Ball State, 90-65 loser Saturday at Southern Illinois, provides DePauw its next opposition, a 7:30 p. m. engagement Wednesday in Muncie. Virtually everyone of McCall’s starters spent the evening searching for the vicinity of the rim. Uncanny Stan Bahler, previously shooting .691 in the ICC, hit but one bucket in each half and finished with a season low of six points and only two of seven from the field.

Jack Hogan missed 10 of 14, Dan Schermer had only one basket in six tries, and Morgan Everson, who led the team with 16 points, connected on six of 17 shots. Center Dean Rush was DePauw’s most effective shooter. Rush made seven of fifteen.

The Pumas hit the basket at a .500 clip both halves. They hit 20 of 40 in the first 20 minutes when DePauw was firing .316 on 12 of 38. The hosts came back after halftime to hit 19 of 38. DePauw improved with 18 of 38 for .474.

Cardinals Chalk Up Fifth Straight Victory

The Fillmore Cardinals chalked up their fifth consecutive high school basketball victory Saturday night by downing a strong Waveland high School, 81-60. Concluding a second quarter that the Cardinals dominated, both teams shot into the third period of action with a renewed spirit. The hustling Waveland squad paced by hot - handed forward

Miller, rallied out the Cards b»^ out-scoring their host, 22-21, but failed to grab the lead because of the Cardinal margin. Third period closed witto the Cards in command, 54-46. A fired-up east Putnam team turned out a rarely seen fourth quarter burst and walked away from a hustling opponent to claim their fifth consecutive

St. Joe also out rebounded the Tigers, 45-41. Puma Larry Yeagley collected 15 and Morgan Everson had 13 for the losers. Despite its poor shooting, DePauw stuck with the eventual winners for the first 10 minutes of the game. Dean Rush’s jump shot brought the Tigers to within one at 21-20 at the 10:31 mark. But Lonnie Brunswick's jump shot, a free throw and three layups ballooned the count suddenly to 30-20 while DePauw was going five minutes and eleven seconds without a point. Morgan Everson finally scored on a lay-in with 5:20 left in the half to make it 30-22, but the Tigers got no closer the rest of the ball game. St. Joe had four players in double figures. Yeagley was high with 23 followed by Brunswick’s 22. Rush, with 15, was the only DePauw player besides Everson, to crack above 10. Hogan
